LMH Mixtape #144: Battle Music

Grab your sword and shield, IT'S TIME FOR BATTLE (music).  This isn't boss music mind you, this is battle music.  What does that mean?  Say you're traveling to the next town in an RPG and suddenly you stumble into a random enemy encounter...hit that battle music.  Maybe you're taking a stroll down to the local store to grab a snack when someone tries to jack your Reebok Club Cs...battle music!

LMH Mixtape #143: Matt Furniss

Did someone turn the heat up in here?  Oh, it must be these HOT tunes from composer Matt Furniss!  Alright, I'm done with the furnace puns.  Matt is a very prolific western VGM composer who started his career at only 16-years-old and while this mixtape mostly focuses on his work, included are a couple pieces from game soundtracks he didn't work on but likes a lot.  He actually dropped by the studio for an in-person interview, so if you haven't listened to the full episode yet, be sure to check it out.  Of course this episode is also packed with straight FIRE tracks!...Ok, NOW I'm done.

LMH Mixtape #142: Leading Women

Rob returns with some tales of heartache, but what better way to mend a broken heart than jamming out to some great VGM tunes with a good friend? In an oddly appropriate topic, the boizz focus on games that exclusively feature female protagonists. But don't worry, these leading ladies won't leave you feeling like Mr. Blue.

LMH Mixtape #141: Manga 2

On Brent's second solo flight we revisit the topic of manga games.  A genre so overflowing with great music, it demanded another focus.  Fun fact: Did you know that the artists who work on mangas are called "Mangaka?”  Is there a term for artists who work on manga game soundtracks?  I don't know, but they make some totally Bonk music!
